Tho Chronicle, i'll its monthly review,
essome interesting figures. The gross
movement during April exhibits dc.
cline from the figures for the correspond
ing month of tho two preceding years,
the months total being 50,515 bales,
against SO,iGl bales last year and 81 ,932
bales in 1855; for the eight months the
aggregate is l,l07,5 56S bales, against
1,O7l ,Sl7 bales ana S94, 7GO bales, re-
spectlvcIy, for the same period of the
two preceding seasons. Tho net move
mont Tor the month is also below that
for April Of 1856, but exhibits an i'll
crease over the same month III 1885 OF
1868 bales. The totals are 3O,3Ol bales
this year, against 50, ,1GS bales in 1856,
and ~, 53G bales in 1885. Notwithstand-
ing the smaller months movement, the
aggregate net for the season to date con-
tlnucs III excess Of that for any similar
perlC q in our record.
The Chronicle says that, in common
with the overland, receipts at tho ports
during Apri! record decline from Il
year ago. In fact, the net arrivals have
been less than hals what they wcro in
April, 1856, reaching 80, 1856 bales,
against 2O2, 500 bales, and in comparison
with 1885 there is II loss of If, 180 halcs
the total then being lO3,375 bales For
the eight months, however,, the aggrc-
gate Is III excess Of that for either 1S85-SG
or 1884 80. The exports to foreign
ports have fallen off very considerably
during the month, the number of bales
shipped aggrogating l9j, ,1l8, against
322, lI0 Il year ago, and 186,3O2 in 1885.
Contrastcd with last year, the total to
May l records an excess Of $50, ,374 bales,
and the gain over 1884-85 is $50, ,4Oi
bales. Port stocks are now 20O,G55
bales less than on May |, last year, and
the decline from year ago in the stocks
NJ interior towns is 14G, 600 bales.
The amount of cotton marketed since
September l i'll 1867 is thus seen to be
no. AT bales more than in 1856, ond
722, 78l bales moro than in 1884-5. The
total takings by spinners since Septom.
Der l, 1886, are l,7G9, ,19l bales. OF this
amount, Southern spinners have taken
33l, OOO bales. Northern spinners had
up to May taken 1,438, 19I bales, n dc,
crease crease from the corresponding period in
1906 of 145, ,625 bales, and an increase
over the samo time in 1884-5 of 2O4, sos
